Paul, my deepest thoughts & sympathy to you and your family.



Daddy was a joy of laughs when it came for him to tell us stories. He was a great cook when it came for us to sit down at the table. I will always remember all those good time we both shared with him.



He is now with mama, who will take care of him for us. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.

My deepest prayers and thoughts of sympathy to you Paul & your family. I've never met your father but heard alot of good stories about your "DADDY". I feel like I was one of his kids #13. Paul, your father has reunited with your mother now, who will now take over to take care of him from you. He will always remember all those times that you were there when he needed you.



Mama & Daddy will now want you to persue the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Your little sister, Rose
